Catching up with Janeway

I was still an ardent Star Trek fan but lately there had not been any good series. The movies were not bad but it was a different proposition all together.

So, going through my Netflix account, we came across our old favourite. I followed The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine but Voyager was something different. Something about being stranded in alien territory having to fend for themselves while looking for a way home just appealed to me.

I started watching a couple of episodes, but before I knew it, I was hooked. And so was Anita. In fact, she was even worse. With the current renovation we were having at the apartment, we had to be without ASTRO for a couple of weeks due to cabling issue. But our internet were still up and using wifi, we were able to watch Netflix through our TV.

It certainly brought back memories of my final year in Medical School where I went to the video store every other weekend to check out on the new release. They didn't have it on satellite as readily as in the US. Plus due to my limited free time, I preferred to binge watch them and it was certainly a treat. We were already on Season 6. Maybe we would be watching the finale by next weekend ....

The Break of Dawn

As I was rushing to get ready for my long Saturday morning clinic, I realised how majestic it looked outside my bedroom window - minus the curtains as there were renovations going on.

I had always intended to have my bedroom facing East as it allowed me to enjoy the morning sun - I had always been a morning person! I guessed I chose right.

So, once the renovation was done, I will make sure that I would enjoy at least a 5 minute stop at my bedroom balcony before going to work. It would be worth it ....

Getting Used to It

We were quite literally playing musical chair at the moment although there were no music in the background. The work on the ceiling at the main hall was done and there would be a couple of weeks break before the cabinets and wallpapers were installed. Now, they were doing the main bedroom and our family room at the same time. We had to move the TV and settee to the main hall temporarily and would be moving back around Chinese New Year period.

It also meant that there would be no ASTRO for the duration of the repairs - which prompted me to put a TV on the corridor on match nights!

TV on the corridor during match night ...The current set up was fine except for the bright sun first thing in the morning .... but with Netflix and internet, we were OK.

Morning at Seri Kembangan

I decided to start my rounds late as I didn't have clinic that morning. It was part of the plan to drive Idlan to school - and later plus Irfan - at least once a week.

After dropping him off, we went for a spot of breakfast before driving to Subang - Anita had a physio session scheduled that morning. Traffic was rather heavy on the way back but I still managed to be in the ward before 9. Hopefully the traffic would be similar in the future, because otherwise it might impact my ward schedule.

At the moment, I would continue to plan around my work as I felt better seeing off Idlan to school. Helpfully it would help him in the long run ...

Today's Lessons

Idlan was back to school and all evening he was talking about the changes in his classroom. There were 3 new classmates he said and they were all girls.

There were projects being lined up already and he was going through some of the things to be covered this term. Science would have plenty of Chemistry for this few months, and he would be doing some Statistics in Maths. For Design, he would be building speakers and was going through what he learned about circuit boards today! I expected some explosion ...

He was still struggling with Flash animations at the moment and it looked like I would have to learn it as well to help him. I promised to drive him to school at least once a week so that I could take him to see his teachers if he has problem. Since Sri Utama, he had been terrified of teachers, and it would take him some time to change ....

The main thing is he was enjoying school. That was the main thing ...
